Exercise 1 Thirty Words Teacher Involvement Required

Read, Discuss, Spell

Ending Consonant Blends A One-Time Note for Instructors: To help a student know where to focus when he starts reading a word, point with a sharpened pencil to the left side (beginning) of the word. Be sure that the student reads from left to right all the way through to the end of the word. It is important that you chat about the meaning(s) of each word. Quite a few English words have more than one meaning. We want to link a word to its meaning in a beginning readers mind as early as possible. After you discuss word meanings, give the students (the entire class or per reading group) a spelling test on all of the words in the lesson. Do not skip any words. Insist on correcting errors immediately. Because ending consonant blends are easier for most students to learn than beginning consonant blends, this workbook teaches ending blends first. Every Exercise 1 in this workbook is a “Power Page”, the careful and successful completion of which will lead to reading success.
